Ode to the Existence of Creation

Ineffable, effable, edible existence

I admire your persistence

Torturous commitment 

To step up and step out

Into a world far unfamiliar to your psyche

That scrapes at the wounds it's already created

And tears away scabs, picking at scars, till the wounds 

Start to wake

Into uproarious sirens of painful calamitous sounds

Screams of ghosts past and souls not yet broken

Your touch is a whistling tune

A drinking song of hope

And despair

A spiteful chorus of anger and melancholic mechanisms

May your body grace the star-speckled sky 

In a mirage of colorless sprays of cornucopia 

I wonder how you can keep going

Despite the blood dripping down

Amongst the lips of the monsters you leave behind

Mouths wide in hunger for your flourish

I cannot fathom you

So I dance in dark corners waiting for your presence

Impatient for the morning of your arrival

Yet gloriously confused 

by the idea of it

Colostrum bleeds from the belly of your fruitless

Legacy

A virgin tale of virtuous fertility

In the presence of iniquitous ducts brought by 

The overseeing destroyer of your

Calling

I am breathless at the thought of you

And gasping empty promises

Of becoming something molded to your image

Just let me kiss the ground

May you bless the soils of blackened thought

Raged, by a pointless execution

In fantasy

I thank the stars for your inevitable

Ineffable, effable

Commitment

To limitless

Ubiquitous, Existence


The author's comments:

Hello, 

My name is Sara Younce. I’ve inserted a poem I wrote that I am quite proud of. I think it would do well within your publication. I hope you will agree. I am eighteen years old and published within two separate publications at the moment. Unbound which is the literary magazine at my high school, as well as Twisted Tales, a booklet from Young Writers USA. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my application and take a look at the fruits of my labor. While I am minimally published, I am still an upcoming author. I look forward to your response and any words you may send my way. 

Sincerely, 

Sara Younce
